    Hypothetical arrangement possible/impossible?

    @NoloC This entire thread has been a learning experience for me. My original idea was to drop AP's where I need them. Add WiFi cams and then air bridge it all back to the source. About 7 posts up I was pretty much convinced that WiFi cams are not the way to go. This is a wonderful thing because...

    Hypothetical arrangement possible/impossible?

    @mat200 I am having trouble wrapping my mind around some of these comments. I've seen a NanoStation link an entire office full of engineers. But I digress. I am considering a PC with Blue Iris. It appears to be the most flexible way to go.

    Hypothetical arrangement possible/impossible?

    @NoloC I think you misunderstood my position. I am here to learn and part of that is challenging ideas and asking questions. I didn't mean to come off as "pompous". The long range camera is about 5450 feet from the source. It's purpose will be for wildlife watching a deer plot. There are no...

    That link is not working for me. It bounces me back to the main page.

    Hypothetical arrangement possible/impossible?

    Looney2ns I looked at many of the Dahua NVR's. What Duhua does not do is show you the backside of their equipment in the photos. So I am limited to reading the specs on each individual unit to discover if it is a POE unit. I didn't find one that was not POE based. Also how proprietary are their...

    Hypothetical arrangement possible/impossible?

    Oblar, I have not chosen any specific cameras. The research I have done suggests that most NVR's are brand specific or proprietary to the cameras. That is why I came here looking for help. I certainly do not want to do any type of cloud recording service. I guess that if I need to I can build...

    Hypothetical arrangement possible/impossible?

    Thanks for your opinion I guess? You'll have to be more specific however. The WiFi camera technology is more than adequate for what I need. Also, I am both knowledgeable and quite skilled at building long range, high performance WiFi networks. As I said in my OP "(Basically you can forget this...

    Hypothetical arrangement possible/impossible?

    I am new to the forum and this is my first post. I think the technology for this exists but I can't finalize a recipe. Please excuse my ignorance for acronyms and some terminology. This system has some security elements to it but it is more about monitoring specific focal points of the cameras...
